Application `filed December Tins invention relaxt-es to eli-eet metal `objects and particularly to a container adapted to carry and confine its own spout.

y The invention has 'for an iohjecttheprovision of a device otthis eliaracterjyhich is simple oi construction,` easy to handle, `which involves many novehieetnres oitconstructioin is tool-prooi? and dees not necessitate the provision et rgensive parte or separate "atue olf ang,

l iforrn requiring; the transfer oli liquid tron'r one contr-iner to another in order thatthe saine may he properly directed to parts Where the liquid is to be used. bln practicing the invention, I provide a container earryingl the usual short spout which is threaded tor reception oi a cover. 1Within the container and `adjacent said short threaded .spout is a' cago carrying a series ol' telesooping nienihers. It is intended vthat the tiret of said telescoping inernbersfshould carry a suitable nieniher whereby, the ineinhers may he raised to `forni along spout. Thus, it a can Wereused. to hold oil such luhrieatingY oil, the oil might he poured throughthe long' spout to any spot or point desired Without the necef'f" 'y oit"transferring the oi, 'from the oil container' to a second can provide L with a spout. Ijiilrewisso torni iny device that it `nniy he incorporated with any 'forni or can non1 on the inarlret.

lilith the nhoife end other ohjecto in View,

`the invention consiste inthe novel and useful provision, ioii'inatiou, constijrucrion, jinter-relation oi yarione parts, n'ieinhers and teaturee1 `all diecloscdin certain embodilnents in the accompanying drawing, described in the following statement, and finally pointed ontuin elaiine.

the container, both oit which devices areused -in practicing1 onecinhodiinent olthegmiiention. The container b may he conventional in i'orin and he provided with the usual cap receivingiflange or spoot portion l that surrounds anopening,l 2 in the container i). its is usual, liquid may he poured throlw'h the openingl i?. However, in the pr tion,the container Zn is provided with a Caire if o innnedintely helen' the opening EL as ehr .i et C13, and seid cage nniy `include two: U shaped menihcrs -t and the hase portions .ot which are at right angles to eachother and sed, es sho-Wn in Figure with a; connecting4 n'ieinher G associated. With the `bases and ron` holdingl the Ushaped inenihers in position. `The extremities ofthe lll-shaped ineinhers nniy he joined with `the container in any approved mennen. Other `ilorrns ot cage niightbe ntilizeth the principal essential being thatithe saine rnust `he open so as not to ohstructiitlow oi `any liquid `past the saine. The spout mincludes a plurality oi sectional members 7 olE progreseively decreasing diameter iroinithe norton; up, und the o 7 are receiycd `one ."ii'ithinlthe other so as to telescope each other. In addition nach section T is given a slight eurreso lthat the spout when `extended is cnrvcd throughout ite length, as shown best in Fig; nrel. "heiiret oil' tliesectione 71 an chown at 8, is somewhat longer than the reniiaining sections, and the tiene are each greeted `aeshown in jligure het 9e sotinitfthe sections may be guidedin their collapeionand Vextension andnt all times he held in proper WorkingI relationto each other. hln addition, each Section alter the iii-st section d, has 4its lowerend portion slightlynlfet or inwardly directed, as shown at l0, in order that-each sectionshell not slip 'troni its cooperating groove. illnthisparticular itis to he noted that the groove ot one section will act ae a tongue in the next edjacent section, and so on. It the upset or inwardly directed portion Were not provided, and assuming that the spout Were in its extended position, as shown in Figure l, one oi' the sections might become loose and drop Within the cage c, which would render it diificnlt to align the grooves in proper sequencdand the said part 10 prevents this occurring, as it checks movement of each section oi' the spout in one direction. iWithin the flange l is an annular member Ill adapted to retain the lowermost section T, It will again ha lli) observed that the diameter of each section progressively increases from the top section to the bottom section, and this annular member 11 locks the lowermost portion of the aligned section 7 in position when the spout is extended. By pressing upon the mouth of the spout 8, all the sections may be collapsed within the container, as illustrated in Figure 2, and held in such collapsed condition by the cage. In this connection the first collapsible section 8 carries a small lingerpi ce 12 which may be grasped so as to raise the sections into normal extended position. then thesections are collapsed a cover member 13 may be screwed upon the flange l.

Uponk reference to Figure 5, it will be noted that it is possible to adapt this invention toy containers now on the mark-e .and the modifica-tion consists in providing an annular member d which is screwthreaded for reception on the flange 1 of the container o, and which annular member cl is in turn associated with the cage 0. The usual cap or cover 13 is screwthreaded upon the thread-ed portion of the annular member (Z. lt will thus be seen that the principle of the invention does notvdifer from that just described for Figures 1 to l inclusive, as all the remaining parts are the same. It is simply necessary in the device illustrated in Figure 5 to remove the cover or cap 13, screw the annular member Z upon the part 1 of the container, and then replace the cap 13. Removal of the cap 13 will permit the spout to be extended similar to that shown in Figure 1.

It is obvious that various manges and modifications may be made in practicing the invention, in departure from the showing, but that said modilications and changes may be made within a fair interpretation of the invention as disclosed and set forth in the following claims.

Having thus disclosed my invention, l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent l 1. A container provided with a spout member formed of telescoping sections, said sections being grooved, and the groove of one section forming a tongue l'or reception in a portieri of the next section carried thereon, whereby thc sections may be held in a given relation.

2. A container provided with a spout member formed of telescoping sections, said sections being groovcd, and the groove ot one section forming a tongue for reception in a portion of the next section carried thereon, whereby the sections may be held in a given relation, and means associated' with each section for limiting mov-ement ol the, next adjacent section in one direction.

The combination with a container provided with the usual n'ionth opening and threaded flange surrounding the same, ol a telescoping sectional spout carried within the container and adapted to be projected through the open mouth portion and the, threaded flange; and a wire, cage member within the container in alignment with the open month and the threaded flange lor holding the spout when collapsed.

Il. The combination, with a container provided with the usual threaded container spout, of a collapsible spout member formed or" t-elescoping sections, and means vl'or reception upon the container spout and adapt ed to hold said collapsible spout to said container; said means comprising an annnlnsformed with a threaded flange lor engagcnient with the threads of the container spout, and the said annnlus being provided with a cage for holding the sections ot the collapsible spent in a given relation when said spout is collapsed.

5. The combination with a container pro-- vided with the usual threaded container spout, of a collapsible spout memler formed of telescoping sections, an annnlus formed with a threaded flange for engagement with the threads of the container spout. said annulus being adapted to hold said collapsible spout to .said container when the collapsible spout is in extended position.

ln testimony whereof, l have signed my name to this specification. i
